Mela

Gee whiz! So many people I've spoken with are so hard on this movie! I saw this movie and really enjoyed it. Of course, Aamir Khan was great and he did carry a lot of the movie, but every movie I've seen with him he tends to outshine everyone else.

Am I so alone? Was there ANYONE else out there that enjoyed this film? I really thought Faisal was a good fit for the character he played. Clue me in - why is everyone so harsh on this film? Is it because they can't see past Sholay?

I would like to see more movies in this style; of course, there are so many Bollywood movies I might die before I am about to see 1/5 of them, but I always remember to turn off my brain and try to see the film as the directors meant it to be seen; and not to make comparisons. If we tried to compare every actor to Aamir, they'd all be found wanting.

All the Best to everyone; and chin up, Faisal! Someone out here thinks you are a success at what you do. I loved Shankar.

Mela is well directed by Dharmesh Darshan and it is definitely a classic of 2000 as compared to songs of this movie.

All songs are great specially the title song totally do justice to the film and it is very impactful whenever the situation arises.

Don't know why it was a flop at the box office or why people hate this film because it is well directed as compare to other films that were released in 2000.

Performance of all actors are good none of them disappoint specially TWINKLE KHANNA yes her acting sometime disappoint in some scenes but the way she has maintain her personality and her physic in this film is just great to watch. And whoever her costume designer is there in this film is a total lover of her navel because not a single scene is there in which she hasn't shown her navel in the film.

Aamir & Faisal act brilliantly good specially the Villain is the soul of this film truly brilliant acting by him.

Music, Screenplay, Cinematography all are good and engaging so definitely you can watch if you love 2000 film's taste in Bollywood style....

Acting (including Aamir Khan) is either bad or loud or both. The story is not very gripping. Twinkle Khanna sealed her fate as a failed actor with this movie. She has an amazing complexion. But the rest is plain bad. Despite having superstar parents, she does not have any talent as actor. Faizal Khan is boring. Just showing off muscles does not amount to acting. The villains are unreal and ugly. Blatantly plagiarizing the scene from Dumb and Dumber was done badly (I never thought this was possible!). The mela title song is tooooooo long and repetitive. I wonder what was the director thinking?

The whole movie is a waste of time. Not worth watching.

Aamir is very choosy of his films but sometimes he too has done mistakes Dharmesh Darshan's MELA was one of his mistakes which also starred him with his brother Faizal Khan

The film is a remake of THE SEVEN SAMURAI and also CARAVAN but the film also suffers from the SHOLAY hangover

The characters of Aamir- Faizal and the villain Tinnu Anand(his name in the film being Gujjar) suffer from SHOLAY hang over

The film however is boring and the comedy between Aamir- Faizal is irritating and too loud and the pee joke copied from DUMB AND DUMBER and earlier shown in HERO HINDUSTANI(98) is badly handled

The villain's track too is clichéd and so is the entire bhasti set up plus the misunderstanding between Aamir and Twinkle and the entire climax

The climax is stretched endlessly

Direction by Dharmesh Darshan is weak, Music is okay, DHADKAN MAIN TUM is the best

Amongst actors Aamir tries hard to play a Dharam type role of SHOLAY but is too loud here though he does well in many scenes He isn't at his best Faizal Khan given the serious role is too stiff mostly but okay in some portions Tinnu Anand is very good as Gujjar Twinkle Khanna however is painful, her dubbing by someone else is too bad and shreiky and that worsens her act This role was offered to Karisma but Dharmesh felt that Twinkle will suit it better and that was a bad part though even Karisma would be intolerable with her crying Amongst rest Johny irritates, Tiku Talsania and the rest gang of Raja Hindustani(Navneet Nishan.etc) are boring Ayub Khan dies soon thankfully

This is wonderful whole movie is full of action comedy this movie didn't bore u starting to end beautiful movie
